Sometimes, enemies from Mystic Square can transform briefly into other enemies. For example, Mai can turn into Yuki and the white fairies from the beginning of stage 5 can turn into green fairies.

I've already posted about these in 2016 (see /post/144853319854/) and 2017 (see /post/162194621734/), but I decided to make new gifs with slowdown to be able to see the transformations better.

As shown in the video from /post/738676409548062720/, in Mystic Square during Yuki&Mai's fight, if Mai's laser is on screen while phase 2 ends, the laser will remain there throughout the entire phase 3 and will vanish only when one of the characters is killed.

If you end phase 2 while the laser is still forming, only a line will persist throughout phase 3 and not the fully formed laser. This line will not hurt you at all.

In Mystic Square, during Sara's last attack, the laser actually has gaps through which you can pass without being hurt.

This was documented by en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/User:KirbyComment/Mystic_Square_Info and rec98.nmlgc.net/blog/2023-01-17. Apparently, Mai's lasers also have these gaps (see /post/738676409548062720/ for visual reference).

I was playing around in Mystic Square ver. 1.00 in order to make some gifs and during staff roll something strange happened. When the name of the game was supposed to appear, it suddenly flashed. I am not sure if this is the staff roll issue mentioned in the changelog, but posting this just in case. It happened only once, as all my other attempts did not contain this flashing.

In Mystic Square during Yuki&Mai's fight, if Mai's laser is on screen while phase 2 ends, the laser will remain there throughout the entire phase 3 and will vanish only when one of the characters is killed. The laser will still kill you if you collide with it. This was discovered by KirbyComment at: en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/User:KirbyComment/Mystic_Square_Info.

Also, the laser actually has gaps through which you can pass without being hurt, similarly to Sara's (see /post/738676406295396352/ for visual reference). This was discovered and documented by rec98.nmlgc.net/blog/2023-01-17.

About Shinki’s bug from Mystic Square

A lot of you know about the glitch from Mystic Square where you can apparently die for no reason at the beginning of Shinki’s fight.

You don’t have to be perfectly aligned with her in order to die.

In case you haven’t seen this post on reddit reddit.com/r/touhou/comments/8p4v7p/the_cause_of_shinki_glitch_has_been_found/, some people managed to find the cause of this occurence.

Apparently, if you kill Yuki and Mai during the “cheeto” phase, the cheetos that were on screen at the moment of their defeat will respawn at beginning of Shinki’s fight. However, they will be invisible, so you won’t be able to see them, you will just die suddenly.

Here is one video (amongst others linked on that thread) that show clearly the correlation between them.

Sometimes in Mystic Square, Mai’s sprite will turn into Yuki’s.
